If you’ve ever ghosted your own visibility, doubted yourself right before posting, or felt like you needed to perform to be chosen—this episode will hit deep.
In this powerful solo episode of Flip the Switch, I’m unpacking the real reason visibility feels so triggering for so many self-led women—and why it has nothing to do with laziness or lack of confidence.
We’ll explore how your nervous system is wired for protection, not performance—and how old survival strategies might be showing up every time you try to take up space.
Inside this episode, we’ll explore:The post-delete spiral, the “I’m not ready yet” pattern, and what’s really happening beneath it
Why visibility is not just a strategy—it’s an energetic and somatic experience
How Polyvagal Theory explains the freeze/flee response to being seen
How parts of you (like The Perfectionist or Inner Teen) might be trying to protect you from judgment or shame
Tangible ways to practice regulated visibility and begin rewiring safety into your body
My 3-step framework to begin building the emotional capacity to be fully seen, heard, and held
Has a vision she’s been hiding from
Is done shrinking in her relationships, business, or voice
Wants to feel grounded, powerful, and safe being fully expressed
This isn’t about hyping yourself up to be seen—it’s about anchoring into a version of you who no longer needs to perform to belong.
Want to go deeper?Inside The Mirror, we don’t just talk about confidence—we build the emotional capacity and identity safety required to hold visibility, love, money, and leadership without bracing.
